Ashley Young was fit enough for the bench last weekend but he didn't see the pitch in United's 1-0 win. He will be hoping to improve on that in Week 33.

Week 32 gave us what is likely to be a solid preview of what the rest of Ashley Young's season holds. He will likely be a situational substitute that mixes DNPs (Did Not Play) and substitute minutes depending on the match situations Manchester United find themselves in. He might get one spot start down the stretch but barring injury it seems like he's going to be a fringe contributor for the balance of the season. Apr 8 - 12:01 PM

Ashley Young could return to add a veteran presence to the Manchester United squad as they face Everton at Old Trafford in Week 32 action.

It seems unlikely that Young will be given a start since the description of his status is less than 100% certain. Given that his injury is a leg injury it would be risky to give him a start against a team with fullbacks that tend to get forward and attack. More likely he could be given the late-game task of either helping to inspire a comeback or drive a Red Devils' lead over the finish line. Probably not a ton of fantasy value in Ashley Young in Week 32. Apr 1 - 4:18 PM

Ashley Young has been out with a groin injury since mid-January but has been training and is close to a return that could happen as soon as this weekend.

There are two ways Louis Van Gaal could look at Young. The conservative approach would be that Young has been out for two months and throwing him back in to a game with massive consequences for United's season would be a big risk. The risky approach would be putting him in the squad given his experience and versatility and have him come on as a substitute on the left side of midfield or defense if United need a boost late. Either way, it seems unlikely that Young will start. Mar 18 - 9:52 AM

Ashley Young will require surgery on his groin (ouch) after being forced off early in Manchester United's 1-0 win over Liverpool in Week 22.

In theory, the loss of Young should just be a hit to United's depth but given the proliferation of injuries elsewhere within the squad, it's a pretty big deal. With Luke Shaw, Antonio Valencia, Phil Jones and Marcos Rojo all out as well there are precious few players available to play at right or left back for the Red Devils. Matteo Darmian will presumably start in his natural right back position with Cameron Borthwick-Jackson likely to reprise his role from last weekend after Young went out. Jan 22 - 1:46 PM
